International Women's Day

The Royal Hospital School welcomed a second Olympic sportswoman this week, Marilyn Okoro, an Olympic, World and European athletics medalist, to mark International Women's Day.

She shared the inspiring story of her journey from North London to gaining a scholarship to boarding school, graduating with a BA(Hons) in French and Politics at the University of Bath and bringing home a medal in the Beijing Summer Olympics.

She presented as a strong female role model and her message of 'Never Give Up' resonated with the sixth form.
